Nice to read about your Donsol whale watching experience. I am considering making a trip there sometime in March next year, after a liveaboard dive trip to the Tubbataha Reefs. However as i will most probably be travelling solo and being a girl and not a local filipino, i am apprehensive about how safe or smooth the trip to Donsol would be for me. What advice would you offer? What are the pre-arrangements or bookings that i can possibly make first online before i am actually there so that i wouldn't feel so lost? My liveaboard trip part is more or less settled and taken care of. I would most likely end up last in Manila and i suppose i would have to take a plane to Legazpi from there? Do you think i may have problem getting people to share boat with me while in Donsol? Are there any cheap and safe accomodation nearby the whale watching area? I would like to cut cost wherever possible. How many days would you say is enough to stay in Donsol so that i would definitely go away with sightings of whale sharks? Appreciate any advice or information from you. You could send me an email. Thank you and God bless :) Hi Nina,

I'll write my own hopefully next month, we are so eager to go back. Now, we know better. We have to book a more experienced guide in advance. The tourist center declined when I asked them but apparently, it is possible. ;D hi nina! yep, you got it right.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your help and emailing to make sure I get your reply. :) A bunch of colleagues from work went to Donsol during the 3-day weekend at the end of February, so I was able to ask stuff too. We are going to book at Woodlands. I heard that visibility was poor during their trip too. Sayang! I hope it'll be better this month. Nina, what's the firefly tour? Thanks a lot!! :D Liz Hi Nina!
